Instar recently announced on Twitter that they just passed 275 thousand verified $INSTAR wallets. The network encourages more people to keep the momentum going by buying $INSTAR tokens and using the app.
Instar launched in 2021, as a product of Insight network. The idea was to create a crypto network focused on data solutions to ensure that data owners (providers) benefit from their data. Using Instar, Data owners can consent to sell their data and receive money for it.
Today, large organizations take part in stealing people's data and selling it. Those networks(data brokers) gain access to people's data without any consent. Social and e-commerce networks face critics for engaging in data malpractices.
Instar network's goal was always to return the power of data to their owners. As such, with time, the large brokers will lose their control over user data. Instead, individual data owners can choose to sell personal data for tokens like $Instar, Dai, and EOS.
Using Instar, providers sell their information to sanctioned parties(requester). Requesters are large institutions that use the data for research and marketing. To provide data solutions, Instar introduced a wallet and app which has been gaining fast adoption recently.
Crossed 275 Thousand $INSTAR Wallets
The Instar wallet is one of the major tools running in the network. The wallet is currently available for desktop and mobile phones. But, it's limited to only android but could launch on iPhone in the future. On Twitter, Instar announced that they had crossed 257000 Instar wallets.
The growth of Instar wallet users has been impeccable in the past few weeks. On October first, the network crossed 265 thousand verified Instar wallets. The above means that at least 265 thousand people were actively using the services then. Fifteen days later, the network hit 275 thousand, a 15 thousand increase.
Live stats on their website shows that the network has 276000 contributors and 112 million staked tokens. The milestone proves that more and more people enjoy the services of the network and its benefits. Instar encourages people to continue buying instar tokens and register for services.

As the network experiences growth, there has also been a milestone in mobile phone usage. Of the 275 thousand wallets, at least 100 thousand users are mobile-based. Instar reported recently that their google app hit 100 thousand downloads recently.
Currently, the network is only available for android phone users. Since there is a whole large market of iPhones, Instar is still in development to suit everyone. It's updating, fixing bugs, and introducing new features for more security and efficiency. Mobile users need to continue updating to experience more features.
Instar Fosters Privacy and Security
Of course, as a data network, security is a vital aspect to consider. The network must ensure that all data collected or passing in its system is left private. As such, the network allows you (data provider) to control your data. You can select the information to share and people to share with. After sharing your information, you receive payments in the form of Instar tokens.
On reception of your data, Instar keeps it safe. It has a team of trained professionals to safeguard the privacy of data.
